Phil has been right on average 50% of the time.

"As accurate as flipping a coin."

If I could have do-overs, I'd be a TV weatherman.

There are two major air masses that compete for spring, a dry polar air mass and a moist subtropical air mass. If it is clear, the finding is the dry cold air mass is still dominant, and therefore winter continues. If it is cloudy, the finding is the subtropical air is working in and spring is just around the corner.

In actual practice... Even January has cloudy days and April sunny ones.

Maybe it's that Chinese hoax still going on.

Or career obsessed banshees?

I know! It's the sexual revolution of the 1960s.

Chains of immigrants raping our national dreams of covfefe!

No groundhogs! No groundhogs! It's all fake groundhogs people!

Mr. Smith, get out of Washington. Your message has been eaten by a memo.

Is the seige over yet or should I go back into my burrow?

Winter is coming.

Groundhog is always wrong.
